The boat

Valkama AAVe

AAVe is Valkama’s advanced autonomous electric vessel, engineered for smarter maritime operations. Its modular, efficient architecture lets the platform be configured for different roles, while full-electric propulsion keeps operations clean and quiet. By bringing autonomy and modularity together in a single hull, AAVe is designed to handle demanding maritime tasks with greater efficiency and reduced crew dependency — a practical demonstration of where intelligent, sustainable marine operations are heading.
